Clarion Quietus (OOC) Part 3

[Ilona Ebonblade]

Heh

[Exile]

I've never actually read those before, to avoid spoilers!

Hee.  I hadn't realised that Wendle, Garion, Cara, and company were recurring characters.

[Ilona Ebonblade]

My mom and dad!!!

[Luiniel Blades]

Fun flavor fact for Siobhan; if you go back over a much earlier scene in this game carefully, IC part 1 I believe, one that involves Garion and his perfect memory, you may discover or be reminded of something very interesting about your family tree.

[Ilona Ebonblade]

Hmm, Okay I'll take a look!

[Ilona Ebonblade]

Holy crap!!!! Not only are my parents ridiculously badass (Garion surviving hanging and sort of stepping into the flow of time and Cara being a living lightning storm but.....I have an older brother!!!????

[Luiniel Blades]

I have returned once again.

[Luiniel Blades]

Heh, good choice staying up with Ivy, Dunkin.  It might have been down to a percentile roll, although slightly in your favor, as to whether or not she would go off to join Nefario out of some burgeoning guilt complex.

[Luiniel Blades]

Slow responses, sorry about that again folks. But I am reminded that I forgot to give out another Christmas bonus to all players still hanging on.

+2 Vitality points from a previously not maxed out character level. Also +1 additional skill point.

Eirik Stealth check

Rolled 1d20+14 : 19 + 14, total 33

Rider Perception check

Rolled 1d20+5 : 8 + 5, total 13

[Luiniel Blades]

Whoops, I just reminded myself that at some point during the "weeks" of travel, you managed to finally open the lock around the book... but clearly it refused to open for some inexplicable reason... cough, cough.

[Pheros]

Thanks for the vitality points!

Dunk is still going to keep his head down, but won't stop one of the humans from talking to the rider

[Luiniel Blades]

Hmm, that's fair. I'm going to give Ilona and Amethyst another day to respond... hopefully that's enough but if not, I'll continue with the scene. As even now there are 7 ... well 6 & 1/2 NPC's with you.

[Fates Chagrin]

Yeah, 1/2 character is right. Even now I'm constantly at odds with how to use the character whose Heroic Path was basically a GM driven plot stick, since I am now also the GM.

Edit:
Actually, after reading over the rework Doomed Hero made up and given the narrative now going in my head about knowing a very rudimentary version of how this story will be going, this will be a lot of fun. I'll just try to keep the two identities separate.

Augury: vs. 73%

Rolled 1d100 : 13, total 13

[Luiniel Blades]

Eirik's diplomacy: Broken language barrier -5
This dice roll has been tampered with!

[Luiniel Blades]

Timeon's Diplomacy: Offer of food and water +2

Rolled 1d20+13 : 17 + 13, total 30

[Luiniel Blades]

Rolled 1d20+13 : 12 + 13, total 25

My latest apology for disappearing - Mum spent most of December to February in hospital, before dying near the end of the month.  We had her funeral this week (amidst the heaviest snowfall the area has seen in decades, for added chaos and relatives-trapped-by-cancelled-flights fun).

Though it was a long time coming and not a shock, I've been even more distracted than usual.  Apologies for vanishing from the face of the Earth yet again.

[Pheros]

Sorry to hear that Exile.  My condolences for your loss. 

[Luiniel Blades]

Even when you see it coming, it's never easy to lose someone. What Pheros said.

But now that I've seemingly gotten some of my mid-term stuff out of the way and a third of the people I know are no longer ill, I have more creative juices flowing again. Sorry for the weird scene I seem to have landed the group in with minimal chance for your guys interaction. It'll be over soon, one way or another, then hopefully you will be able to hop back on track... or to whatever your goals are.

I know I've said it before; I'm kind of following a highly expanded version of COS campaign but it's really just some guidelines I happen to like. The choices are yours to make.

[Luiniel Blades]

Siobhan, what Dunkin has just suggested, while practical, is tantamount to sacrilege in Sarcosan culture. Horses are seen as far more than beasts of burden or mounts to be ridden. They are intrinsic to the ways of Sarcosan people. They are seen by many as a spiritual reincarnation of Sarcosan riders of the past. To the Sahi, they are to be seen as a gift of the riding host. In some cases, they are effectively given the same rights to life as a Sarcosan and should be protected as such."Horse-rights" are the most important value a family or individual has.  Sarcosans *never* eat horse meat. It is akin to cannibalism.

Among other people who live in Erenland, namely Central Erenlanders not directly involved in Sarcosan culture, Dorns, Hallflings, and Gnomes, and more recently occupying shadow forces like Orcs, and Hobgoblins, it is commonly known that Sarcosans prize horses above most other animals and place some cultural significance around them. The specifics are not generally known unless the person is well learned of others cultures. This requires a Dc. 13 Knowledge Local - Southern Erenland, or Dc. 15 Knowledge Geography/ History check.

[Exile]

My all-too-customary apologies are offered yet again.  Real life remains all too distracting, and not in a fun way.  Discussions of things like wills are among the least awkward bits right now. :/

Still wholly supportive (if far more remotely and infrequently than I'd like) of whatever efforts can be made to keep this going. 

[Luiniel Blades]

Hello everyone, it's been a long time again.

I'm sorry for my extremely elongated absence. Truth be told, I'd been in a creative slump for a while. That combined with finals, graduation, revelry at such, further celebrations, the start of summer, and preparing for my best friends wedding has been time consuming.

I suspect that I may have actually lost any following in so far as this game is concerned due to my silence... but just in case, I'm here again. Sound off if you're still here.

[Exile]

Still here, sort of.  RL's been horrendously distracting for way too long for me... but if I can find a couple of brain cells to rub together, I'm still interested.

[Pheros]

I'm still around, and up for playing of you want to restart.

[Ilona Ebonblade]

I have a lot going on, but I guess I'd be up for pushing forward.
